Keeping The Development Resolution?
May 26, 2011
I've been trying to find the answer to keeping an application from allowing "scaling" of controls and forms to the user's settings. I have set the autoscalemode to "none" on one form but it doesn't seem to work. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Visual Basic. My users are on using either XP or Windows 7. I think we are all using Framework 3.5 but not really sure.
I knew this problem would eventually become an issue but ... Now the problem has become an issue. I have a user that has dual monitors and has the text setting on medium. Now the label controls overlap the input text fields.

We did development of a VB application on a machine with a high resolution screen. Also the machine where the real application runs has a high resolution screen. After a while we wanted to do minnor changes on the application and we wanted to use a low resolution laptop for that. When we opened the application for editing we saw that all forms changed their sized automatically AND unwanted.How can we build and change applications in one form size that does not change depending on the resolution of the machine on which edits are made?

1. Is there anyway to make an application look as though it has been set to a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 when the true resolution different?
2. I am developing my app using a widescreen monitor. What dimensions does the form need to be set to so that it looks exactly the same on a normal & widescreen monitor?

I have a very high screen resolution on my laptop: 1400x1050.My colleague tried it out on his laptop (which had lesser resolution), and the application did not fit on his laptop. The buttons were dragging out of the screen space.So, I want my application to automatically resize/adjust based upon the screen resolution.I don't want to use Maximized screen option and don't want to change user's pc settings.Unfortunatly I am not using Table Layout panel.

How can i get the combo box to keep the value that was partialy keyed in and completed with auto complete.Pressing enter doesn't select the value so when you tab out it keeps the entered auto completed value. The only way to keep the auto complete value is to click on the combo box with the mouse and then tab out of it. I would like some how of being able to tab out of the combo box and it keep the auto completed value that the user has entered so as to save time entering data so no mouse clicks are needed and the data grid view can be tabbed through and all data entered from keyboard.

I have a program that requires login and I have that part working, but I'd like to be able to tell which user has logged in. There's a database with the user info (ID and password) but I'm not sure how I can have the program record which user has logged in.

I have developed a very simple application that disables system keyboard commands (ctrl+alt+del, alt+tab, etc), hides the taskbar, hides the desktop, etc.Upon entering a password the user can 'unlock' these options.This is being used with a restaurant POS system so no accidents can happen. However there seems to be one minor issue:In a separate software package (the POS software), at specific times, any application that is running (my locking application) will get focus and end up on top of the POS software.I want my locking software to remain underneath all running applications. Anyway to keep my locking application from gaining focus? I was thinking of maybe adding some line of code to send my locking application into the background whenever it gets focus..

I have been working on a VB app to edit an excel document. I want to keep my excel workbook in scope for the whole app.
For example here is how my program looks now
private sub
open workbook
end sub
private sub
reference workbook
end sub
I want a way to just call my workbook at the top and have all of my subs recognize it. I guess like a global variable or something.

I have a MDIParent form that has a bunch of child forms. When I open a child form, I can actually move the form outside the bounds of the Parent. How can I prevent this? I've set each of the Child Forms "IsMdiContainer" property to "False". What am I missing?

I have two combo boxes, and four buttons. When the user clicks "Add" on the first combo box, it adds a new item to the combo box with "New" and then lets the user rename that item to something else. That "new" item has to have an array of "answers" that go along with that item in the list. What I'm having trouble figuring out is assigning "answers" to the second combobox for each item in the first combobox and changing the second combobox when selecting an item in the first combobox.
EXAMPLE:
Item 1 - Combobox1
- Item 1 - Combobox2
- Item 2 - Combobox2

I have an application that connects to an SQL Server, sometimes we have a networkinterruption of min 10secs during the openconnection , I get a General Network Error when I try to carry out any procedure that communicates with the database afterthe interruption. Even when the connection is closed and reopened, I still get General Network Error. The only way to get the application to function again is to close the Application and reopen it, is there any way I can keep the connection alive?

I have been on a hiatus from VB for some time. I was coding in C++ and C# for quite some years and on my venture back to VB, decided to put my trusty VB 6.0 on the shelf and try out the new 'rave' VB.NET. I'd first like to say, I can't imagine how different it is from older versions. I'm using Visual Basic 2005 and I find myself sometimes pulling my hair out over things that were common practice before, yet have been totally revamped. But I'm getting by, barely, but getting by.
My problem is this: I am writing an application that loads the Title field of a DataGrid (after being loaded from a DataTable of course) into a ListBox then sorts them. The problem is, upon sorting, I lose the original index value that pertains to that entry in the DataGrid. In other words, if the first ListBox item is selected, it contains the index value of the first entry in the DataGrid, which stores the rest of the data to fill the labels and controls on the form. I have a semi-workaround for this by iterating through the DataGrid and comparing the Title field to the text of the selected item in the ListBox, but the downside to this is that you could never have the same named item or you would only get data for the last item entered. My question is... Is there a way to somehow retain or store the original index values of a ListBox before sorting? If so, this would make my code a lot smoother and allow for multiple entries of the same name in the Title field of my database.
P.S. If someone could go through how to access items from the DataTable itself, I could get rid of the DataGrid altogether, as I don't need it other than to access the DB data. I couldn't figure out how to get at it while it is in the DataTable, so I loaded it into a DataGrid control and made it invisinel.

I am trying to create a quiz application in Visual Basic 2008. I need to be able to store a score value when the player gets a correct answer. When the value is stored a new question set appears. Once the score is calculated I want to be able to show this is in a new form so the value needs to be passed from one form to the other. I'm not entirely sure how to do this but I believe it will incorporate a module.

Suppose i want to draw semi-random ellipses on my form.Is there any way i can check if they get clicked at a later stage?Is there any way of storing the location of individual ellipses and then comparing the mouse-click to my list of locations to see if one was clicked?
I can imagine how it could be done with squares or rectangles, but i dont know how to approach it with ellipses.
Im sure this has been asked before, but i've spent a good while searching around for something i can use and came up emptyhanded.

What happens here is when I click on anyone of the radio buttons the text box score sets the value to either 0,1,2,3,4 but when I go the next case it goes back to 0 instead of keeping the value. I tried many different techniques while going about this none seem to work.

Using VB/VS 2010 and am trying to provide the user with a way to change the color of the control buttons on my main windows form. I'm starting with the button click event that then calls another sub-form (code shown respectively below).
I was testing with DirectCast as I need to deal with a multitude of button controls (i.e., will have more than the two shown below).
I would like to know how to deal with the following:
1. How do I save the BackColor so when the user opens the form for the first time (or any other time thereafter) the color set earlier appears (the default via properties is green).
2. When I click on the button for the first time and change the color it doesn't change until I click the button again.

I'm trying TCP communication using VB.NET and using the TcpClient method.All is working fine but I'm having trouble keeping my message seperate from each other.For example, my message have an header and footer and can range in size from very small (32 bytes) to quite large (64k). The problem I have is that when messages are being sent quickly they will arrive together. For example, if two 32 byte messages are sent they will arrive as 64 bytes. This is no good as I need to process them seperately.
So my question is:- Is there a way to easily separate my messages using a built in feature of the TcpClient so that the "reading" will give me the correct amount of bytes each time corresponding to the amount of bytes I have sent per message?

I have a custom cursor for the user to allow them to position text in PDF files. For the most part there never seems to be a problem, but a choice few people are seeing massive problems with this.
One particular client loads the program, and then loads a PDF document into it. Once the program has loaded when the user clicks he either doesn't get a custom cursor or the signiture blank that is to show up is above the frame that is to surround the blank.
The user is using Windows XP on a laptop and the software re-renders the cursor and box every time. There is a signiture tablet that the user buys to connect to this software, and the user also has expressed problems with the Tablet not staying connected.
I can provide pictures of the changes and code if anyone would like to tackle this?
